Computers have become such a part of everyday life that it’s worth trying to find the device that best fits your needs. Among seniors, the proficiency level varies, as do user requirements.
The Forbes Health editorial team has reviewed products from top computer companies and recommends six different laptops depending on your specific need and computer literacy.
Here are the computers evaluated:
- Acer Aspire 5
- Acer Chrome Book 315
- Apple MacBook Air
- Asus Vivo Book 15
- Huawei Matebook 13
- Samsung Galaxy Book Pro
The parameters considered included: price, screen size, display quality, battery life, data storage, keyboard options, warranty, and product weight. Keeping seniors’ needs in mind, the editors took into account possible physical impediments, how the units would be used, the amount of storage desired, and ease of use.
The Acer Chrome Book is just right for beginners while the Samsung device offers a high-speed processor for streaming and downloads. The good news is there is a fine selection of products to fit virtually any usage need a senior might have.
Council of Seniors Wants to Help You Enjoy Technology
Extra income can help seniors meet their technology needs. That’s why here at Council of Seniors, we believe Congress must pass The SAVE Benefits Act. We’re working hard to make it happen. This bill can compensate for inadequate Social Security cost of living adjustments (COLAs) from a series of recent years. The sum of $581 has been withheld from seniors, and this bill will ensure that it’s returned.
Please take the time to sign our petition. That’s the important first step in letting Congress know how many people support this bill.
